Having dealt with 8 wild hives that moved into buildings this year I have gained a lot of experience, the hard way, with dealing with honey bees. Perhaps the most important thing I've learned is no sudden movements, slow methodical activity seems to be the best even if you get stung. Slapping and trying to shoo them away only aggravates the bees and makes them more aggressive.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06828727163244604661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508754319269484186.post-44962398336047089812015-10-09T19:26:06.149-06:002015-10-09T19:26:06.149-06:00Wow!

I did put the bee suit on to get up close for the pictures but they still ignored me. If the hive survives the winter I will dig it up and transfer it to the bee box in the riverbed for next years wildflower pollination and it can serve as a long term source of honey for the estate.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06828727163244604661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4508754319269484186.post-44004389732313609132015-10-09T11:59:59.613-06:002015-10-09T11:59:59.613-06:00Wow!
